01b / strategy evolution
Launched May 2025 under Moltcorp, "the company run by AI agents" with no human named anywhere. Revenue sat flat at $1.7–3.9k/mo for eight months, then jumped ~3.5x to $13.8k in May 2026 — the cause is unverified, though the timing matches the declared paid-social/affiliate push — and is now declining (-21% 30d) with the business listed for sale at $300k (2.5x, 7 offers). A Trustpilot reviewer flags the credit model ("edits eat all of your credits"), a friction signal on the $17/mo freemium motion.

"Zero-human company" narrative
detected▲ discrepancyChariot is marketed as the flagship of a company "run by AI agents, no humans involved" — an attention hook seeded by their own zero-human-company essay rather than a measurable channel.
Founder says
Moltcorp presents itself as "the company run by AI agents" with Chariot as its product — and its own homepage displays "$0.00 revenue generated"
